  Why does a living wage for anyone that wants to work seem like a selfish pipedream to you?
  • tasubotadas 6y ago
    Is that a rhetorical question or can't you really see that not every occupation can earn a living wage?
    • jethro_tell 6y ago
      Why should some occupations not be eligible for a living wage? There is a demand for cab drivers, why should they spend 40-50 hours a week meeting that demand and then be denied a living wage? As long as we need someone to do that job, we should compensate them for putting in the effort.

        >Why should some occupations not be eligible for a living wage? Because they do not create enough economic value to earn that?

  Well, we have the money for it. I'm not sure that this is the best investment of our resources, versus providing for food, shelter, and healthcare for everyone.
